LEGO® Minifigures 28 | Frog Costume

There have been several LEGO® Costume Fan minifigures out there that really stand out, and in the past Minifigure Series, they have been one of the favourites in the rosters of characters that are either a genuine fruit or veg, but also a group of animals.

For the 28th series, LEGO® focused on a thematic look for its latest iteration of the series with animals in mind. It was released at the start of 2026, but other countries won’t have it until the first week of February of this year, just like in the Philippines.
